yesterday: 70 minutes with the team Massai/Moony and 40 minutes ground driving for Teddy

Hi Lynn I not sure but I've remembered I saw kind of tandem hitch with enlarged shafts on historical photos. I'll check this out.  But I think it's not useful because it will be a very long vehicle and not flexible enough. If you make turns, in normal case, you turn the front horse before you...

Thanks ;) We used a planer and a grinder to shape the boards. I think a hoof rasp would work too, but it's probably more work. I gave you a wrong information about the wood we used before I figured out we used pine wood for the boards and oak wood for the frame. I'm so sorry about the...

They say, the ideal moment for measuring is 10-14 days after trimming. I would measure now and after the trimming. If there is a huge difference (I think it will be not a big difference if his hooves are trimmed every four weeks ), I would calculate the average. For the Easy Boot (Mini), I...

Yes, I think you're doing the right. I wouldn't risk the horses health for a show, too. But it's a pity anyway, I appreciate you're disappointed about that I feel for you!

2. The Upper Boards The upper board is the most important and most difficult part of the saddle tree. As I explained before, it has to match perfect to your horses back, that's also why you have to create the templates. You need now two pieces of hard wood (we took oak wood) and cut it into...

Here is the first part of my tutorial: 1. The Template The very first thing you should do BEFORE you start to build the original saddle is a template. I did one out of a cardboard and I fitted it exactly to my horses back. My model for the saddle tree was the swiss army pack saddle As you...

I use Easy Boots too and I'm pretty sure it makes a difference and will be better with the shoes on. There are dampening pads available for the boots, or you can create your own pads out of a piece of a fitness mat. I did this for my old gelding who was wearing EB Epics years ago. He walked much...

What a weekend! Warm enough to eat ice cream For this time, I drove not alone and met some very nice people who came with me. friday: 90 minutes with the team Massai/Moony sunday: 70 minutes with the same team and ground driving for Teddy: 40 minutes the weather is now turning to stormy and...

SNOW? Oh my god.... what crazy. We had 80 today... tomorrow it will be nearly 85, it feels like summer. Drove 80 minutes with the team Massai and Teddy.

Yes, I would recommend a wedge seat too. I have a carriage with a very low seat (it's made for children size, I think), not very comfortable for me. I added a wedge and now it works My new carts have adjustable seats, I would never buy a cart without adjustable seat.

I was very surprised to read about that, not expected yet! Congratulations to the little boy! I love his color @Cayuse: I had doubt how he's feeling the day after our first drive... But he's all ok! I'm so happy, hope it's definitely over. Seems we grabbed all the good spring weather for...

wow, congrats to that lovely little surprise baby! He's like his mom, a little wonder mini
